  • Holy water cannot help you now
    A thousand armies couldn't keep me out
    I don't want your money
    I don't want your crown
    See I've come to burn your kingdom down

    Holy water cannot help you now
    See I've come to burn your kingdom down
    And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out
    I'm gonna raise the stakes, I'm gonna smoke you out

    Seven devils all around me
    Seven devils in my house
    See they were there when I woke up this morning
    I'll be dead before the day is done

    Seven devils all around you
    Seven devils in your house
    See I was dead when I woke up this morning
    I'll be dead before the day is done
    Before the day is done

    And now all your love will be exorcised
    And we will find new saints to be canonized
    And it's an evensong
    It's a litany
    It's a battle cry
    It's a symphony

    Seven devils all around me
    Seven devils in my house
    See they were there when I woke up this morning
    I'll be dead before the day is done

    Seven devils all around you
    Seven devils in your house
    See I was dead when I woke up this morning
    And I'll be dead before the day is done

    Before the day is done
    Before the day is done
    Before the day is done

    You can't keep it out
    It's coming through the walls
    To devastate your heart
    And to take take your soul
    For what has been done
    Cannot be undone
    In the eagle's eye
    In the evensong

    Seven devils all around you
    Seven devils in your house
    See I was dead when I woke up this morning
    I'll be dead before the day is done
    Before the day is done Writer/s: Florence Welch, Paul Epworth
